Honestly, the flirtation with murder is one of the least interesting moments of the book. Gilbert also channels the ghost of Rayya’s mother, speaks to her dead lover (either in person or, in one wild passage, through a medium), and goes on an ayahuasca trip where she reports interviewing the cancer cells that killed her beloved. The cancer cells hated their job, by the way. She shaves all her hair off, gets sober from literally everything, and takes five years to find out how to put the experience into words.
